Trump breaks silence on ‘heightened’ assassination threats from Iran

On Wednesday, Trump wrote on his social media platform, “Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. Military is watching and waiting.” He alleged that the foreign country would once again try to kill him after two assassination attempts. “Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again,” the Republican presidential candidate added.

Trump went on to say that this is “not a good situation for anyone.” “I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before,” he continued before expressing his gratitude to Congress and the Secret Service for protecting him. For a change, he did not lambast his rival party.

“Thank you to Congress for unanimously approving far more money to Secret Service - Zero “NO” Votes, strictly bipartisan,” Trump said. “Nice to see Republicans and Democrats get together on something. An attack on a former President is a Death Wish for the attacker!” he added.
